My brother had a job collecting cans for recycling in order to earn some spending money for himself. He would go to these restaurants and collect the cans from their dumpsters. Sue and I would help him crush them. He would give us some of the profits. We all figured that it cleaned up the neighborhood as well as providing some financial reward. My dad was not always crazy about the mess though. We would have to make sure they were rinsed out as much as we could. The only thing is, That it takes a lot of cans to make it worth while. Chip and I used to do this too when we first met. There was a recycling machine in our neighborhood in which you could put the cans in yourself and get instant profits. This was nice. As I said, It takes a lot of cans to make it worth while.
